As great as the in-store was - and it was hella great - i'm digging the album even more. These arrangements are a near-perfect match to his vocals. Picked up the needle several times to listen to "Jim Cain" on repeat. Strong contender for album of the year.

What did the egg say to the pot of boiling water?"It's gonna take me a while to get hard, I just got laid by this chick."

this was after he made sure there weren't any kids in the audience (i think i saw Adam leave right before that with a crying tot) and then asked if we wanted him to tell the joke. some fuckwad was like "duh" real loud, and then he told it. great show.

Me and my buddy(and our guitar player) who has been obsessed with Smog since we met in 2002 was so giddy for the show then got a nosebleed two songs in and had to go to penn stations for napkins. but at least he got to miss that old guy standing in the doorway who was singing(to whatever song was playing in his head), snapping his fingers and being generally strange while people were trying to listen...sheesh.
